wednesday!

today was uber great! went to work, had a great day at work, got a lot of stuff done, and got along great with tech and the customers where really nice today. after work i headed to columbus for class. on the way i stopped at the G.I. depot in lancaster and picked up a few things. (more specificly i got a hand grenade, a pair of chemical gloves and a gas mask) after my stop at the G.I. depot, i continued on to school. when i got there i found out that they moved the classroom to the other end of the building so i found the new classroom and got seated (only after i found and outlet to plug in my laptop) tim then showed up right before class started so he joined me in what soon became the heckler section of the class, because as soon as nemo started to teach we both realized how trivial tonight's class was so we ended up talking about our own machines until the break when he ran and got his laptop, after that we ended up doing our own things for the most part. then came lab time, and our lab for tonight was to take apart a computer, identify a bunch of different part and then put the machine back together, and it needed to work when we where done, so tim and i worked together and ripped the thing apart and identified all the parts first, then we put the thing back together, we finished with that before anyone else had identified all the parts required. but when we went to fire it back up, disaster, the machine would not even post! we began trouble shooting it, removed everything but the vitals, tried it, still nothing, so we reseated the CPU and the thing churned to life! after we put everything back together, we found that we forgot to hook the IDE back up, so we went back in and did that, and even after all this trouble we where the first ones to finish! so, all in all, today was quite epic
